Starcraft 2

[Boner]

As i am sure many of you already know, Blizzard will be announcing their next game, tomorrow. They are announcing it in Korea, so it would seem to be Starcraft.

Also, if you go to starcraft2.com, it redirects you to the Blizzard page that contains a countdown to the announcement.

I wish it was Diablo3, but Starcraft 2 will still rock!

P.S. Starcraft 2 isnt official, it just seems obvious.

Sunken corony!

i'll be glad if its something starcraft related since they haven't visited that series in a very long time, well except for ghost but it was for lame consoles and it eventually was canned anyway after many years in development. if diablo 3 is made more like the first one then it would be cool, but diablo 2 was really disappointing. anyway here's to hoping its another starcraft game, 9 years is way too long. :-/

[Claymoore]

The Starcraft cutscenes were the best!
With the marines carrying beer in their bomb case.

[Lyfe]

yeah, Blizzard always had quality cutscenes for all their games.

[Immortaldonut]

yeah, Blizzard always had quality cutscenes for all their games.
Agreed. I still think the Diablo ones are pretty decent. The graphics were pretty awesome for their time.

3:00 - FMV sequence in a spaceship - looks Terran - zooming in on a metal door - door opening - reveals a guy with a cigar in chains - prisoner - door shuts behind him - there's so much bass the room is shaking - guy steps into some kind of metallic devicce - legs are strapped in - guy rising toward ceiling - Korean text on screen got people very excited - another part of the machine is dropping metal arms on him - machine whirring - applying armor to his torso - extremly detailed visuals here - now guy is strapping on gloves - armor is molding together - seems like a Terran marine - rockets turn on - zerg now onscreen - Marine delivers a line - StarCraft 2 officially announced.

wooT



3:15 - Zerglings can mutate into suicidal bomb things thar roll across the ground - very powerful explosions. Colossus using new IK system to move across differences in terraing height. Colossus extremley weak against air strike - New unit for protoss - Pheonix - can overcharge guns for multiple projectile blast - but after blast the ship is rendered inert for a short period.

3:14 - Protoss colossus - huge unit that can blast out dual lasers and use long legs to traverse differences in terrain height - in the demo two of them obliterate about fifty or so zerglings.

3:10 - Terran reapers - can hop across unever terrain with jump packs - two types of small pistols that don't activate immortals. Protoss now have the ability to create shields whereever they want. Protoss can now warp in units from manufacturing facilities anything within pylon range. New protoss unit - stalker - can teleport - quadripedal thing - can keep blinking forward - seems to be a shot cooldown on the ability. Zerg start coming in, giant worms pop out of ground unleasing zerglings. Protoss can use phase fields and teleporting abilities to create an army anywhere on the battlefield, according to Blizzard.

3:09 - controlling protoss zealots - still has psi blades and personal shield - new charge ability that let him quickly close range on enemies. Siege tanks shown - still the same type of behavior where they can lock down - take out zealots really quickly - new protoss unit - called immortals - have special shield that only activates upon being powerfully attacked - siege tanks could barely do any damage to them.

seems to cut off early...

[Zumi]

Hmm never played any of those games made by that company, cause I mostly play all console games. Whats so good about this game? All they did was show a bunch of CGI in that video, kind of like what MS did with Halo 3.

[Oronachinagi]

Scratch the above, Starcraft2.com is up and running.

[Trynn]

Haha, I love the tag line... "Hell, it's about time."


And Zumi, you've seriously never played Starcraft? It's considered by many people to be one of the, if not *the* greatest RTS game of all time. It still has quite a large following, despite the fact that it's a 9-year-old game.

NEEDS MORE RAYNOR

[Yummy]

COLOSSUS FTW

[Zilent]

omg finally they are making SC2, I've been waiting for this foreverrrr:tati:

[Oronachinagi]

I hope they made Kerrigan hot(ter.)

[Immortaldonut]

I hope they made Kerrigan hot(ter.)
Zerg Kerrigan was way hotter than Terran Kerrigan. It would be a stretch to think Kerrigan could become hotter Q_Q

[thelegendarycravy]

Well however SC2 turns out, you can expect suji and i to dominate.

:tati:

[Lyfe]

[Rayj]

JIMMY

[Zilent]

Well in the preview for the game you can see zerg kerrigan and she looks so much cooler then in the last one so maybe she will be hotter then the last one! :-o

[thelegendarycravy]

pretty sure theres no new race... anyone down for some SC???? :p

[Zilent]

I wonder if they will have anything in the storyline about the whole mixing the protoss and zerg races together. I remember in the bonus campaign at the end of brood war they mentioned how some terran were messing with the genetics and mixing the two. I think it would be awesome to see what they would look like.

[Ryudei]

Samir Duran was no Terran!

[Zilent]

Psh he was just infected like Kerrigan cept not as powerful and dies Q_Q

[Izzy]

Samir Duran was no Terran!

Best part was when you clicked on him like 20 times and he'd say, "My name is Duran, DURAN!!!"

"...What's so funny?"

[Ryudei]

LIES!!

"During the final stages of Episode VI (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=StarCraft_Episode_VI&action=edit), Kerrigan loses all her psionic links with Duran for no explained reason. Meanwhile, fleeing from Kerrigan's forces on Char (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_%28StarCraft%29), Zeratul (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeratul) discovers (http://starcraft.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Origin) that Duran is secretly (and under orders from an unknown authority) breeding a Zerg/Protoss Hybrid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_%28StarCraft%29) on a dark moon. This seems to be a completion of the first Overmind's goal of merging the Protoss and Zerg, who stated that this would make the swarm truly powerful. From the manner in which Duran replies to Zeratul (with a completely inhuman voice), and his claim to be many millennia old and to have been known by many names in the past, Duran's background becomes even more enigmatic. He further asserts that he is serving a "far greater power." Fan speculation on his true nature abounds, but association of him with the Xel'Naga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xel%27Naga) appears to be the most popular theory. Other possibilities include that Duran is either working for the Overmind, or is the Overmind himself in some way, or that Duran is in some way the same man as Doran Routhe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doran_Routhe#Routhe.2C_Doran), the man who sent the First Terran Expedition into the Koprulu Sector. The "far greater power" he serves could also be an unknown species with powers rivaling these of the Xel'Naga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xel%27Naga) themselves, as it is, claims Duran, "reflected in the creature within that cell" (the Zerg/Protoss Hybrid), which possesses both the purity of form and of essence. The Xel'Naga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xel%27Naga) possibly lacked these, as they were striving to create such a race. Another interpretation of the "reflection" is the Zerg-Protoss Hybrid was the intended Creation of the Xel'Naga, a perfect race which was the only equal of the Xel'Naga, who had reached the end of evoloution."
